The Little Ones 'Morning Tide' album

Acclaimed indie-pop group The Little Ones have signed with Atlantic affiliate label Chop Shop Records, and unveiled plans for the U.S. release of their full-length debut, "Morning Tide." Recently released independently via the venerable Heavenly Recordings in the UK, the album is already receiving a flood of critical praise -- with NME calling it "...a collection of songs that take the word 'pop' in 'pop music' literally, bursting with effervescence and joy." The highly anticipated, 11-song collection will arrive in stores and online on October 7.

To support the U.S. release of "Morning Tide," The Little Ones have announced a run of tour dates with NYC-based indie rockers The Walkmen. The two-week jaunt kicks off at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC on October 2nd (see below).

Los Angeles-based The Little Ones burst onto the music scene with their self-released mini-album, "Sing-Song," in 2005. The New York Times called the collection "...one of the year's most lovable indie-rock CDs." NME went even further with their 9-out-of-10 review, dubbing it "...the best 'pop' album this millennium." The band has also built a passionate following with their energetic live shows, touring in both the U.S. and abroad with the Kaiser Chiefs, The Magic Numbers, and Ra-Ra Riot, not to mention at such events as the Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits festivals.

The group self-released a sneak preview of "Morning Tide" in the form of their "Terry Tales and Fallen Gates" EP this past spring, prompting a "Breaking Out" feature in Spin, which noted "...The Little Ones play a perky brand of blue-skies indie pop that sounds like a retrofitted blast from California's endless-summer past."
